If one cigarette shortens a smoker’s life by 5.5 minutes, by how many minutes has the smoker shortened his or her life? The time span is if he starts smoking at 16 until 55

55 - 16 = ?

55 - 16 = 39

Number of minutes in one year is 525600

39 x 525600 = ?

39 x 525600 = 20498400

Then you would multiply 20498400 by 5.5 I believe

20498400 x 5.5 = ?

20498400 x 5.5 = 112741200

There are eight major endocrine glands, each with a different function: pituitary gland: the “brain” of the endocrine system; regulates all seven of the other glands and secretes growth hormone.thyroid: regulates a person’s metabolic rate, which is the amount of energy expended daily by a person at rest.thymus: assists in the development of a person’s immune system.adrenal gland: regulates fluid and sodium balance within the body, and secretes epinephrine (“adrenaline”) when the body is under stress, producing the fight-or-flight response.ovaries (in females) and testes (in males): control the development of secondary sex characteristics.pancreatic islets: regulate blood sugar.pineal gland: regulates biorhythms and mood, and stimulates the onset of puberty.
